We now have two particurlarly prominent students who get the chance to participate in Global Youth Institute this autumn, hosted by World Food Prize Foundation.

Johanna and Smilla submitted well-designed theses in which they proposed well-thought-out and sustainable solutions to difficult global challenges. According to the experts, they also presented their solutions with great commitment in the roundtable discussions. They are therefore this year´s SLU Youth Institute laureates. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Dr. Shakuntala Haraksingh Thilsted who will receive the 2021 World Food Prize for her improvement of aquatic food systems for enhanced nutrition and resilient ecosystems. Dr. Thilsted was appointed honorary doctor at SLU's Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences in 2020.
